Anyone think Randy could decide to walk after this?
I wouldn't blame him if he did but it would be the worst things that could happen to our club.
I don't want him to walk, that would be bad but I'd like him to stop listening to terrible advice. In reality most managers would be given a chance by the fans, this is pretty much one of the few appointments that could cause such an adverse reaction from the fans.
The Villa 'faithful' aren't going to be happy no matter who gets appointed, since the top polling candidates Ancelotti and Moyes wanted nothing to do with us, and the club wasn't content to give Benitez a blank cheque to buy whoever he wanted.
I don't believe this is the one appointment that would cause uproar. It's just a mighty good excuse.
Up the Villa.
nope, and not when you've pumped as much coin into the club as he has. Also, on a number of fronts we're hardly doing ourselves any favours to potential buyers. If Randy put the club up for sale, a buyer might think, "is this how they act when I make a decision". Why would you put your millions on the line if your status as owner is question like it has been today?
I don't think so. Not many of the 'faces' were at the protest. No H & V bigshots were there either. I know a few who go everywhere home and away incl the Hong Kong game coming up.Like the majority they'll renew ST's and carry on.
Most people I know think Randy is great, I'm sure he'll take no notice tbh.
I hope Randy wont pay too much notice to a vociferous emotional minority.
Keep calm and carry on.

Tosh, we've been just been linked with two managers who finished 3rd and 4th bottom, and we look like appointing the one who got his team relegated. If Lerner wanted to take his ball home (which I doubt he'd be able to out, as our finances are a lot shit) then good riddance quite frankly.

How the mighty have fallen.
i really couldnt care if eck came here with a birmingham fc tattoo on his face and on a tattoo on his arm saying that aston villa are s***e
the problem is and i cant understand how everyone is okay with this is
Eck has been relegated twice in four seasons
and still people are okay with him becoming our new manager

The first one they were already deep in the shit when he arrived.
The second one was mainly because he had nobody who could find the net, we have Bent.
Randy has been superb for us and his love for the club cannot be questioned. That said, this decision is beyond comprehension - not only the Blues manager but a bloke who's clearly failed at it to boot. If he thought it would be acepted without question or fuss he's way off beam.
Very worrying.
A few have said they will back him or any other Villa manager, I'm not sure I've read anyone who thinks appointing him is anything but a bad idea.
